SPARK is a free, home-based, kindergarten readiness program for families who reside in Franklin County. A Parent Partner will meet with you one to two times a month and will work with you to help your child build the skills necessary for success in school. You may submit a referral anytime, however, enrollment will depend on the child's age, time of year, etc. Families can join the program one to two years before the child enters kindergarten. Children who participate in SPARK outperform their peers at least through the fifth grade.
Note: You may submit a referral for children who are younger than 3.
